apparently he also used the 'N' word in the same interview (also off air)

from the article, it sounds like Jackson probably said something to the effect of "Obama needs to stop tellin niggas how to behave" but I'm obviously interpolating or extrapolating (not sure which one fits in this case)

Who was he talking to when he said that?

i'm assuming the same reporter who he made the "Cut off his nuts" comment too, but I dunno

"The longtime civil rights leader already came under fire this month for crude off-air comments he made against Obama in what he thought was a private conversation during a taping of a "Fox & Friends" news show. In additional comments from that same conversation, first reported by TVNewser, Jackson is reported to have said Obama was "talking down to black people," and referred to blacks with the N-word when he said Obama was telling them "how to behave.""

The sad thing is the media is going to be paying MORe attention to Jackson as a result of this, not less.

I don't think this series of events could've been scripted to better favor Obama.

if Obama gets elected, I wonder if Sharpton will distance himself from Jackson? (assuming Sharpton doesnt say any dumb shit about Obama)

The funny part is that Obama talking about responsible fathers is what got Jackson upset.

Oh no, Jesse Jackson nearly killed hope!

^^ It's a little sad that many still believe The Man is more to blame than internal, societal issues.
